Just a few hours away from the women’s qualifying round at Antwerp today, Simone Biles looks stern with confidence. As the men’s qualifying round concluded successfully on Day 1, it’s time for the most sought-after women to showcase their maneuvers. Undoubtedly, the 26-year-old USA’s six-member roster leader, Simone, has all the eyes on her. Until some pair of eyes may have shifted to her favorite rival, Shilese Jones. The Washington starlet secured a position on the national team, but the crown slipped by just a fraction.
Some days ago, on the commencement of the US Women’s Gymnastics Selection Event at Katy, Texas, Jones held on to the top place for quite a long. Owing to her flawless displays, one after the other, Americans foresaw Shilese capturing the provisional quota. However, the disappointment got clearer in the social media posts. In response, the GOAT declared her magnificence once again.

The original post to which Simone commented, said, “I think USAG believe in Shilese that much and I’m here for it…. plus I think this takes some pressure off Simone.” In fact, this post was a repost of another that calculated Shilese’s upcoming medal-winning displays. Even though the post read, ‘some pressure off Simone’, the gymnast herself may agree to it from another angle.
